About The Role

The Solutions Engineering team at Envoy lives within the Customer Success organization but touches every team (sales, product, engineering, finance, etc). The team is adaptable and has the uncanny ability to pick up new skills quickly. Each day is different and involves assisting account executives with the pre-sales process, security questions, QA’ing some experimental functionality, or jumping on a call to both triage and solve a customer issue. The Solutions Engineering team is multifaceted at Envoy and includes elements of sales engineering, API development, support escalations, and world-class enterprise customer support. You might be a Solutions Engineer if you are technology-forward, enjoy learning new third-party SaaS products, find workarounds to make customers happy, and love playing with the latest technology.

You will

• Align with the Sales team (primarily SMB, while supporting Channel and/or Mid-Market segments) to assist in all aspects of the pre-sales process, such as technical demos, security reviews/questionnaires, and discussions around technical requirements while setting realistic expectations with prospects and customers.

• Work closely with a customer’s information technology, security, and legal teams to maintain compliance and user security standards.
• Be the liaison between customer-facing teams and Product, Engineering, and Design teams. You will be the voice of the customer during product roadmap meetings, ensuring that company goals are aligned with customer needs and that implementation is executed with the best interest of the customers in mind.
• Hunt down answers within data tools and logs to uncover sneaky product bugs.
• Advocate for Envoy’s customers and provide critical feedback to product and engineering teams to greatly influence the direction of our products.
